Investing in Bhutan’s Agrifood Future
March 17, 2026

The Hand-in-Hand initiative facilitates socially inclusive agricultural investments in 8 of Bhutan's 20 districts. It aims to unlock untapped potential, boost farm incomes, and reduce poverty by prioritizing transparent, innovative, and impactful investments in Special Agricultural Products (SAP) for production and market advantages.

The government supports these efforts by providing access to state land, developing key infrastructure (roads, irrigation, energy), and fostering an enabling policy environment. Recent incentives include investment allowances for priority sectors like agriculture.
